I updated and when it was running postinstall I got a large number of
"Entry point not found in cygwin1.dll" popups.  Now bash comes up
in /usr/bin instead of my home directory and is badly hosed.
/etc/profile is gone, and all the cygwin directories are missing
from $PATH.

What I'd like to do is reinstall from scratch, but would like
to preserve the list of packages I have installed.  Is there
a simple way to extract a list of installed packages and then
pass that to a new install?
